anybody got an infographic / internet resource / youtube video for understanding different caliber bullets?
What kind?
Rifle
Or pistol?
pistol
I would recommend 9mm
Cheap
Consistent
Lightweight
what's the difference to a .40?
Holds kore rounds per mag
PPQ comes in 9mm and .40
.40 is larger
Higher grain bullet
Was cut down from a 10mm
what does grain refer to on a bullet?
The weight of the round
more expensive than a 9mm?
Yes
By about 10 cents per round
I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the 5 inch barrel rather than the 4 inch on the PPQ, an extra $100 for a gun that I'm guessing will feel a little better to shoot
seems reasonable for a starter
Is it for conceal carry?
not sure yet
watched a video and they said the five inch can still be conceal carried
Just depends on what you are comfortable with
Actually now that I think about it I'm definitely going to want conceal carry if I'm out and about off base.
You would be surprised how uncomfortable it is to conceal a larger weapon with out printing the weapon
printing?
The ability to see the weapon against your clothes
Hmm well I got some time to consider it, a few months at least.
Hopefully I can get a chance to try out both kinds.
Yea i would try to shoot both calibers before buying for sure
So when you said grain refers to weight, is that change only because of the size of the bullet? I'm wondering if there's different densities/alloys
The weight of the actual bullet
9mm comes in many diff weights
40 cal does as well
I use 9mm 115 grain
This effects the velocity of the round
Grain is also the amount of gun powder used
